beyond the pops: coconut paleta frosty

by Chen

Unlike average ice cream, old-fashioned paletas are made without much air being churned in, and therefore, they are denser and creamier. If letting them sit in room temperature for a little while, you may find a gooey texture, which is similar to gelato and favored by both my mom and aunt.

Surprisingly, my coconut-lover cousin is not a big fan of paleta pops (I guess he is too lazy to hold the stick). However, he can hardly resist any type of shakes, smoothies, or frothy drinks, including today’s treat.
